You'll work directly with the CEO and CTO on critical projects including:

System design for supporting provider level features at the gateway level (skills, compaction, batches, etc.)

Thinking about the developer experience - to support millions of users who leverage your work via LiteLLM's Python SDK

Building across LLM's, MCP's, and Agents by maintaining an excellent LLM interoperability layer, supporting a wide range of MCP Auth flows and enabling various Agent use-cases

What is our tech stack

The tech stack includes Python, FastAPI, Redis, Postgres.

Who we are looking for

Strong work ethic and ability to thrive in small teams

Eagerness to talk to users and help solve real problems
